Railfanning the layout part 1

[pere19542010]

Does anyone know where I can buy the wagons at minute 1:38. Those that carry two containers. Many thanks

[bechho]

@pere19542010 It is old A-line models, not too happy with them myselves. write me an e-mail if you are interested in mine at a low price.

[timberwolf218]

stupid question here......can you run G-scale in the rain?

[bechho]

@timberwolf218 Have no idea.

[Weiberts]

@timberwolf218 LGB is waterproof, I don't know if any others are. Now just because it's not waterproof doesn't mean you probably couldn't run it in a little rain. A torrential downpour would be different, but a light sprinkle should be fine.

[pyronathanpyro]

@timberwolf218 you can run any scale in the rain so long as it doesnt get in the train we used to have a 00/ho scale garden layout and we modifyed the trains so they were waterproof and we had a matt clear coat sprayed on to all the trains and wagons so tehy were waterprrof tahh

[killionreggie]

i thought bnsf didnt have flashing ditchlites

[bechho]

@killionreggie The 8-40CW's, dash 9's, SD75's and SD70ACe's all have flashing ditchlights. I think it is a safety thing for crossing roads and slow movement in yards and stations.

So awsome man super detailing love the engines everything looked fantastic would love to run some of my trains on your layout.I give it 10 thumbs up. Faved also

[bechho]

@83dubbie Thanks. I have since this video got quite some engines and a lot of cars weathered. I hope hat the middle layer we constructing right now will have even higher details.

[RELeeOnTraveller]

Very nice show shed model. Are there any of those things still i extant?

[bechho]

I believe that modern day snow sheds are of concrete

[Grumpy7783]

i'm a big fan of the Warbonnet paint of Santa Fe and the bloody nose and dark grey of SP/SSW.

[bechho]

It is a very nice colour scheme. Better than the current day BNSF scheme.

[BNforever2009]

Those freight trains are cool. That layout is awesome. Would love to run my future Santa Fe intermodal train on there--50 cars and 5 locomotives.

[bechho]

Thanks. It gets better and better all the time.

[45molkstreet]

these your trains? they look cool

[bechho]

Thanks. Yes all the engines and cars were mine at the time of the shooting. I have sold a few of the freight cars to other members of our club since I took this video, as they were too old for my modern style.

[1234567890bf2]

this is cool. I got a BRAND NEW santa fe #838 C40-8W atlas silver at a train show for 70$

[bechho]

Great.

Look forward to see it in action on the tube..

[Weiberts]

i love the war bonnet paint scheme

[bechho]

That is one of the best paint schemes ever

[canucklover11]

im working on mine now im trying to get a few ideas

[bechho]

That what it is all about.

[TheXtremeEnthusiast]

hey nice layout

[bechho]

Thanks

[thetreeregimovies]

what couplers do you use?

[bechho]

In this video they are all kadee no. 58. I have some Genesis Covered Hoppers which are using Kadee 78, but the 58 is the main one.

[thatguyoverthere45]

is the Life-Like standard NMRA couplers a good type, in your opinion? i think they are

[bechho]

I must say that I only use Kadee 58 and Kadee 118. I have tryed others, McHenry and Walthers, but they just didn't live up to my expectations.

[0beseShady]

c00l!!!

[LoofLirpa4]

Loved your video. I have several of the HO Atlas C40-8W locos in my collection, and they're my favorites. (No "dummy" engines for me, either!) I see you're showing your Danish patriotism with all those Maersk containers. Now you need to add the GP60M that Santa Fe painted in Maersk colors, and you'll be all set! ;)

[bechho]

I know, but I will stick to the SF & BNSF trains.

[sunnysang]

on my layout, i have multiple trains pulling, but what i do is i have the fake plastic trains behind one that pulls, try it out

[bechho]

I rather have two trains running at the same time oppersite eachother. I know that others use dummy engines to make the power in front look bigger.

[Peterraev]

I can answer that, as we members of the same club. Yes, we are from Denmark.

[mtrails]

That is a great looking layout. Wish our club layout looked that good!

[OG4LYFEYungD]

So you live in Denmark? Im assuming

[Peterraev]

I can answer that, as we members of the same club. Yes, we are from Denmark.

[OG4LYFEYungD]

No prob. Where do you get your cars??

I too havent gotten around to filming my Dash 9's due to electrical problems. I have a BNSF one and 3 U.P.

[bechho]

various shops in the US, MB Klein, ToyTrainHeaven and ofcourse EBAY. We can not get that much US stuff here in Denmark, unless you are having Maerklin AC layout (which I used to have) so the internet have really made this much more easy for us to find the right cars.

[OG4LYFEYungD]

What scale is that? Mine is HO scale. I have and Athearn Dash 9 Loco, which is similar to you Atlas C40-8W.

Good video by tha way...

[bechho]

This is HO Scale. I have some Dash 9 from Kato aswell, they have just not found their way to the club for video setting yet. But that will happen soon.

Thanks for the comment

[hwulffdk]

lots of shaking going around ;-)

[nuclearthreat545]

nice
